Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of baking accessories technology, and more specifically, relates to a grill and an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most air fryers use a single-layer drying rack for drying food. While the single-layer rack is simple in structure, its limited usable space often requires users to dry food in batches, reducing operational efficiency and increasing energy consumption. To address the space limitation issue, attempts have been made to increase the processing capacity per batch using multi-layer racks. However, due to obstructed hot air conduction paths between the multiple racks, the airflow distribution is uneven, resulting in insufficient heating of lower-layer food and significantly worse drying than upper-layer food, ultimately leading to inconsistent drying levels. Utility Model Content

[0043] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0044] To address the technical problems of low rack space utilization and poor hot air conduction in existing air fryers, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, this application provides a grill, including a frame 1, legs 2 and a support 3.

[0045] The frame 1 constitutes the main framework of the grill. Support legs 2 are connected to the frame 1. Support legs 2 serve two purposes: firstly, they support the frame 1 and the food on the bottom of the air fryer, preventing direct contact between the food and the air fryer bottom; secondly, they create a stable lower baking space between the frame 1 and the air fryer bottom. Food to be baked is threaded onto baking pins, which are then hung in this lower baking space, thus utilizing the space below the frame 1. The frame 1 specifically includes a fixed frame 11 and a movable frame 12. The movable frame 12 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 11, allowing for flexible adjustment of their relative positions. A support bracket 3 is connected to the upper part of the frame 1, which forms the upper baking space.

[0046] The upper and lower baking spaces are interconnected via the frame 1, allowing hot air to flow freely within both spaces. This avoids the uneven drying problem caused by the progressively obstructed hot airflow in traditional multi-layer grills. During use, the grill needles can be arranged in different ways depending on the needs: some needles can be placed on the grooves 31 of the support 3, while others can hang in the lower baking space, fully utilizing the space above and below the frame 1 for simultaneous baking. This arrangement improves space utilization, and the hot air flows through the gaps between the skewers, avoiding progressive obstruction of hot air circulation and ensuring even heating of the food. It is suitable for various cooking needs such as drying and grilling. Furthermore, this grill structure is not only suitable for air fryers but also compatible with ovens, offering good versatility.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of this application, the fixed frame 11 serves as the main frame, with the legs 2 and the bracket 3 fixedly connected to it to ensure the stability of the overall structure. The movable frame 12 is arranged parallel to the fixed frame 11. When the movable frame 12 rotates to an aligned position with the fixed frame 11, the baking needles can hang on the fixed frame 11; when the movable frame 12 rotates to a staggered position from the fixed frame 11, the baking needles can also hang on the movable frame 12, thereby increasing the hanging position of the baking needles and allowing more food to be baked in the lower baking space. This adjustable structural design effectively expands the range of hanging positions for the baking needles, allowing users to flexibly adjust the arrangement of the baking needles according to the amount of food, improving the space utilization of the frame 1 while ensuring the efficiency of hot air circulation. The surface of the bracket 3 is also provided with multiple grooves 31 for positioning the baking needles to prevent them from rolling off. Baking needles with food attached can also be placed on the grooves 31, thereby utilizing the space above the frame 1.

[0048] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, in a specific embodiment of this application, the fixed frame 11 and the movable frame 12 are connected by a rotating shaft to achieve relative rotation. Specifically, the fixed frame 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 13, and the movable frame 12 is provided with a shaft hole 14 at a corresponding position. The rotating shaft 13 and the shaft hole 14 form a rotating pair connection, so that the movable frame 12 can rotate relative to the fixed frame 11 around the rotating shaft 13.

[0049] In another specific embodiment of this application, the positions of the rotating shaft 13 and the shaft hole 14 can be interchanged. Specifically, the rotating shaft 13 is disposed on the movable frame 12, while the shaft hole 14 is disposed on the fixed frame 11, and the rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the shaft hole 14.

[0050] In one specific embodiment of this application, the movable frame 12 may be located above or below the fixed frame 11, depending on the usage requirements.

[0051] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown in a specific embodiment of this application, one end of the rotating shaft 13 is connected to the fixed frame 11 or the movable frame 12, and the other end of the rotating shaft 13 is provided with a limiting part 15. The projection dimension of the limiting part 15 in the radial direction of the shaft hole 14 is larger than the diameter of the shaft hole 14, thereby effectively preventing the rotating shaft 13 from accidentally coming out of the shaft hole 14 during rotation. The limiting part 15 can adopt various structural forms to achieve the limiting function, including but not limited to rod-shaped, disc-shaped, or spherical geometric shapes.

[0052] Based on the relative positions of the movable frame 12 and the fixed frame 11, when the movable frame 12 is positioned above the fixed frame 11, the limiting part 15 is located below the fixed frame 11; when the movable frame 12 is positioned below the fixed frame 11, the limiting part 15 is located above the fixed frame 11. This orientation ensures that regardless of the installation position of the movable frame 12, the limiting part 15 can perform its intended anti-detachment function, guaranteeing the structural stability of the grill during use.

[0053] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in one specific embodiment of this application, the limiting part 15 is a cross-shaped stop, and the end face of the shaft hole 14 is provided with a cross-shaped groove corresponding to the cross-shaped stop. Through the cooperation of the cross-shaped stop and the cross-shaped groove, the movable frame 12 can be limited to be aligned with the fixed frame 11, or the movable frame 12 and the fixed frame 11 can be offset at a 45° angle.

[0054] like Figure 5As shown in a specific embodiment of this application, the fixing frame 11 includes a fixing outer ring portion 111 and a first support beam 112. The fixing outer ring portion 111 constitutes the main support structure of the grill, and the support legs 2 and the bracket 3 are both connected to the fixing outer ring portion 111. The first support beam 112 is arranged laterally inside the fixing outer ring portion 111, which not only strengthens the structural strength of the fixing frame 11, but also provides a hanging position for the grill needles.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the structure of the movable frame 12 is similar to that of the fixed frame 11, and it includes a movable outer ring 121 and a second support beam 122. The second support beam 122 is horizontally arranged on the movable outer ring 121 and can also serve as a hanging position for the heating needle.

[0056] When the rotating shaft 13 is connected to the first support beam 112, the shaft hole 14 is located on the second support beam 122; the fixed frame 11 and the movable frame 12 are rotatably connected through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 13 and the shaft hole 14. Conversely, when the rotating shaft 13 is connected to the second support beam 122, the shaft hole 14 is located on the first support beam 112.

[0057] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one specific embodiment of this application, there can be multiple first support beams 112 and second support beams 122. Each first support beam 112 can be arranged in a parallel or intersecting manner. Similarly, each second support beam 122 can also be arranged in a parallel or intersecting manner. By increasing the number of support beams, the number of hanging positions for the grill needles is increased, improving the space utilization of the grill and the food loading capacity.

[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, in a specific embodiment of this application, the fixed frame 11 may not be equipped with a movable frame 12. Instead, by increasing the number of first support beams 112, the number of hanging positions for grill needles is increased, thereby improving the space utilization and food loading capacity of the grill.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in one specific embodiment of this application, the support legs 2 are distributed with multiple support points. Each support leg 2 is evenly spaced along the outer periphery of the fixed frame 11, forming a ring-shaped support structure. This distribution provides stable multi-point support for the grill, ensuring the frame 1 remains balanced when carrying food and reducing the risk of tipping over.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in a specific embodiment of this application, the grill is further provided with a limiting buckle 4 for adjusting the relative position of the fixed frame 11 and the movable frame 12. The limiting buckle 4 has a slot, and both the fixed outer ring portion 111 of the fixed frame 11 and the movable outer ring portion 121 of the movable frame 12 are fastened into the slot of the limiting buckle 4, and the movable outer ring portion 121 of the movable frame 12 is also movably connected to the slot. This connection method ensures that the movable frame 12 can rotate freely while effectively limiting the relative displacement range between the fixed frame 11 and the movable frame 12. Therefore, while ensuring the flexibility of the movable frame 12's rotation, it effectively prevents the movable frame 12 from shifting or misaligning during rotation, improving the reliability and ease of operation of the grill. The number of limiting buckles 4 can be set to multiple according to actual needs, further enhancing the stability of the grill structure through multi-point positioning.

[0061] In one specific embodiment of this application, the number of stents 3 is at least two. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two supports 3, which are connected to the frame 1 at intervals in a relatively opposite manner. The two ends of the grilling needle can be placed on the two opposite supports 3 respectively, which ensures the stability of the grilling needle when carrying food.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application also provides an air fryer, including the grill rack from the above embodiments. Therefore, it also possesses the advantages of the grill rack from the above embodiments.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one specific embodiment of this application, the air fryer includes hanging grill needles 5 suspended on a grill rack. The hanging grill needles 5 are detachably hung on the rack 1 via hooks at their ends. The hooks of the hanging grill needles 5 allow them to be securely suspended at a predetermined position on the rack 1, while also allowing the user to adjust the hanging position and number of needles according to actual needs. This hanging structure makes full use of the lower baking space of the rack 1, improving the space utilization of the grill rack and ensuring that hot air can circulate fully through each skewer of food, achieving a uniform heating effect. The detachable nature of the hanging grill needles 5 also allows the user to flexibly adjust the grill rack configuration according to the size and quantity of food, enhancing the convenience and adaptability of use.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one specific embodiment of this application, the air fryer also includes flat baking pins 6 mounted on the grill rack, with at least one end of the flat baking pins 6 resting on the support 3 of the grill rack. The grooves 31 on the support 3 stably support the food, preventing the flat baking pins 6 from rolling off the support 3. The flat baking pins 6 fully utilize the upper baking space of the rack 1, complementing the vertical arrangement of the hanging baking pins 5. This improves the space utilization on the grill rack and ensures that hot air can pass through both the flat baking pins 6 and the hanging baking pins 5, achieving a uniform heating effect. The flat baking pins 6 can be mounted on the support 3 at one or both ends according to actual usage requirements.

[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
